Hello,
Thanks for contacting HCM.
If you have not been relieved off the bacterial vaginosis mdication , i.e with metronidazole , and you feel there is burning near cervix still, then its a mixed vaginosis possibly.
You may be required to continue the course further for a week but with the following:-
1. Cap Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 7 days.
